"Hardcover with dust jacket, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, minor bumps on corners, minor shelfwear, minor scuff marks, text is in German() Seit bald einhundert Jahren ist die Harley-Davidson amerikanisches Wahrzeichen und Kultobjekt. Für die Cops ist sie bis heute genauso Statussymbol, wie für deren Kundschaft, sie wurde Filmstar, zu Kriegszwecken rekrutiert und war selbst auf den Rennbahnen nicht schlecht -- sogar auf Motorrollern und Golf-Carts fand sich schließlich das geschwungene Emblem. Heute steht das Zweirad mit den beiden schmatzenden Töpfen -- nach einer lebhaften Geschichte voller Krisen -- besser da, als je zuvor, denn obwohl das Bike höchstens mal das eine oder andere Facelifting bekommt, finden sich die lonely rider, die 68er Peace-Generation und der amerikanische Rebell gleichermaßen im Harley-Image wieder. Die Geschichte dieses zweirädrigen Straßenkreuzers ist somit auch eine Geschichte der amerikanischen Jugend -- die allerdings auch später von der Liebschaft m ID: mon0000017967"

John Mortimer Felix in the Underworld
Viking Adult 1997 0670860794 / 9780670860791 Hardcover Very Good
"'() In Felix in the Underworld John Mortimer's grasp of character has never been so sure, and his characteristic humor and pathos sting with equal force. His hero, Felix Morsom--once a bestselling author dubbed the Chekhov of Coldsands-on-Sea--writes sensitive, well-received novels of middle-class life and love in a seaside town. Separated after a childless marriage, Felix is obsessed with his publicist, Brenda Bodkin, and their unconsummated passion. But a bolt from the blue--a paternity suit hinted at in an anonymous tape received in the mail, and subsequently threatened at a bookstore signing--leads to murder, and an underworld of poverty and crime, in which Felix finds himself the chief suspect.''''

Under Flitton's reign, a whole new world free of class distinction and full of biting, mischievous social comedy emerges. ID: mon0000104394"
